~ The Cincinnati Times-Star says that
oranges are selling in that city at dime a
dozen, and are as luscious as when they cost
twelve times as much. Rev. G. A. Adams
received a barrel from his son in Florida
some two weeks since, which had been four
on the road. They were frozen solid, but
were luscious after the frost was extracted
When in Florida four years ago the Supt. of
a railroad informed us that with the rail
facilities now between the north and south
oranges ought to be almost as cheap as ap-
pies here in northern Ohio, if properly hand
led by railroad employees and depots were
established to receive them by fast freight
and establish retail markets in surrounding
territory Journal.

for voting against Mathews for recorder OF

W Increasing our State levy from four
tenths of mill to seven tenths is not the
way to reform our tax laws. That would in
crease the burdens on those now paying the
taxes and allow all the corporations and
others now escaping taxation to escape still
farther. An increase of the levy would
cause still more property to hide from taxa
ton. But it has been prophesied that this
Legislature will increase the revenues in just
that way. If the Legislature does, it will
make itself amenable to charge of being
bought up by the wealthy tax dodgers

Statistics Concerning Ohio

The NORTHWEST has received copy of
Auditor of State E. Kiesewetter's annual re
port for 1886, which has just been published.
The State Auditors report is most valuable
publication, in that it deals exclusively with
State, county, township, municipal and other
finances. It gives the duplicate by counties
and other subdivisions, and in detail furn-
ishes comparative tables of duplicates,
Indebtedness and rate of taxation.
The report just issued is very interesting,
and from its pages the NORTHWEST obtains
many figures which will prove of general
interest to the reader.
The grand duplicate of the State is now
81, ,688, ,676, 1853. The increase has, for several
decades, been very marked. For instance
we cite the following: .. ....

yet because he was once slave, but because
he worked the political treadmill and ground

~ It is mentioned as a somewhat curious
circumstance that South Carolina is the
only State in the Union without a divorce
law. 1t is within the recollection of many
persons yet living, when the Legislatures OF
the States were the only authority for grant
ing divorces. In those days divorces were
rare because they were hard to obtain. Since
the laws of the State have been changed Civ
ing the courts the power to grant divorces,
legal separations have become SO common
that q divorced man or woman is no longer a
curiosity. The easy divorce court originated
in New England, and spread westward with
such remarkable rapidity that in Indiana
and Illinois the nuptuial knot was, some
years ago, unloosed for less fee than il
cost to tie it. healthy moral sentiment is
setting tide the other way, and it is becom-
ing disreputable to be divorced for trivial
cause.

Free Trade,

The reduction of internal revenue and the
taking off of revenue stamps from Proprie-
tary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefit
ted the consumers, as we'll as relieving the
burden of home manufacturers. Especially
is this the case with Green's August Flower
and Boschee's German Syrup, as the reduc-
ton of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size of the bottles con-
tanning these remedies, thereby giving one.
fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The
COMPLAINT % and the he German % Syrup @ for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale of any medicines in the world. The
advantage of increased size of the bottles will
be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflict-
ed, in every town and village in civilized
countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents re.
main the same size. Tyr dec2

READING, Penn. July s.-There
threatens to be a general stagnation of
the iron industries Of this section of the
schuyikiil Valley, owing to the strike of
the employees of the Reading Iron works.
Following upon the closing of ali the de-
partments Of the large establishment
comes the announcement that the Key
stone Iron works in this city and the
works of Gibraltar and Naomie have
closed. The concerns, together employed
900 men n were dependent on the Read
ing iron works. Over 300 employees of
the Birdsboro rolling mill and rail works
are also idle or account Of their refusal
to accept a reduction of wages. The
Blandon iron works will be sold on the
23rd instant, and the future outlook OF
the iron trade in this vicinity is anything
but bright. The Reading Iron works
will probably remain closed for at least
six months.
